The Legendary Pearl to Take On 14.1 Attempts

I asked in chat, but I'll post it here.
Do the sponsorship ads in the upper right have to run constantly?
They take away from the playing and the eye wants to leave the playing surface.
There are 21 ads.

I appreciate the stream, just a question.

The sponsorship ads are essential to what's going on money-wise with this event -- and part of the deal is making sure the sponsors get good value for their investment with lots of eyeballs.

It's a very, very, very small price for our viewers to pay for a FREE stream of the best in the world shooting the very lovely game of 14.1.

Rather than reading through this entire thread, is there a prize, bonus, or something each player gets for hitting any particular number? Or is it a straight attempt to break the 626 record? Any prize or money for that ?

Getting past 526 will get a player a significant amount of dough -- getting past 626 will get a player *a lot* of dough.

Bobby does not want the numbers advertised but I've been told what they are and I'm impressed and it's enough to entice the best in the world to take a swing.

Wait! Neither of those is good! Here is my bank account info, send it now! 🤣 🤣 🤣

For your convenience I’ll make a exception and go ahead and arrange a ACH credit to your checking account directly from the Corporate account here in Beverly Hills.

Go grab your check book, I’ll hold. (Wait for customer to get checkbook)

Ok, great! What’s the next available check number?(not necessary just sounds good)

Next give me the 9 didget routing number on the left? Ok thanks, now look to your right and you’ll see that account number-read me that when your ready. (Get all numbers)

Ok great for your protection please read me those numbers back to me-backwards-start with the last number first(this is a old trick to see if the customer is lying about their account number)

…………….

I’ll stop here before I incriminate myself anymore than I have. God I miss those days. Hustlin on the phone is same feeling as pool. Money won is twice as money earned.


Teddy Stein<———-someday I’ll mention that here. Lots of stuff ppl don’t know about Fatboy.

Still working on my writing

"I've never seen a table I can't draw on. Sheesh."

Next shot, he has a long reach and still draws the ball back 1.5 feet.

Yes, exactly. I don't think Earl has any lack of knowledge, concerning 14.1. He just has one way to go at it, his way.

Yes -- and I don't believe he has any significant chance of a really big number going about it the way he has been.

If he were to modify, which I certainly believe is within his capabilities, then he could probably break 300 easily, but not the way he's doing it now. Still, he's fun to watch and listen to and I'm glad we brought him on. Helps keep things in perspective.

Interesting....Earl is quitting after the 10th rack without missing. He's going to come back either later tonight or tomorrow.
 
Earl's Day 3 runs (last run to be finished later....)

Today he had 35 innings, sinking 1206 balls.
BPI average is 34
High run today is 144.

My explanation is called 'physics' and hitting closer to center always produces less spin, not more. Larger diameter shafts don't increase contact area. More contact area probably doesn't equate to more spin.

Never said hitting closer to center produced more spin, what I said was when playing left or right outside spin its easier to get better results because the tip has more ball contact to induce spin. All you have to do is miscue with a 14 or 15 tip. mm tip, then compare the tip to a 13 mm

Not seeing much in the way of insurance balls or managing balls when going into clusters. When he has no shot or something else gets tied up, he thinks it’s a bad roll. It’s not.

End patterns are pretty bad. And as of right now he’s really frustrated and should probably take a break.

And yet, he keeps running balls. But I don’t see how you get over 200 or 250ish like that.

He also keeps complaining about the table but has shot balls like into the first diamond that still went in.

Hmmmm, and this is how you play patterns to run 480 ball, not impressed. Has Earl broke the 200 limit yet?

I don’t get much spin on the miscues. I’ll go try again.😉

That’s intuitive but not the case - the size of the tip/ball contact area depends on how much the tip compresses during contact - i.e., how soft it is.

I’m pretty sure more contact area wouldn’t increase spin anyway (unless a tip with less contact area slips on the ball, which isn’t normally the case).

Smaller tip is more inclined to miscues the further off center you go, where as a wider tip still covers quite a bit of the ball when off center. The point about the misscue is to take a look at the tip miscue mark, the area size of it on a 13mm vs a 14, or even 15mm tip. That shows you how much tip contact was on the ball at the tim of the miscue. Its greater on a 14mm vs a 13mm. I can't stand these carbon fiber shafts today, would never own one.
